AnyLogic Professional 8.9.1 Review
Title Agent‑based and discrete‑event hybrid simulation of urban last‑mile delivery under dynamic crowdshipping incentives
Previous versions often required modelers to hunt for and manually install specific database drivers (JAR files) to connect to SQL sources. This process could be frustrating, particularly when moving models between different machines or sharing them with clients. AnyLogic Professional 8.9.1
